Great company for a private tour. - We contacted several tour companies looking for a private tour. Malahini was the first we found that was very accommodating for a private small group tour. We had other plans that day and our guide adjusted the tour to meet our needs.
Dan was our guide and was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and fun. He made the day a great experience. Highly recommend this private tour.

Had a fantastic time! - Really enjoyed the volcano and waterfall tour! Our tour guide Dan was so knowledgable and made it really enjoyable. He even bought us some fresh fruit that he chopped up for lunch, which was lovely! Great day out! Really loved seeing the steam coming from the volcano crater and the beautiful waterfall!

Amazing Tour and Friendly Guides - This was our first time to Hilo, we got off the cruise ship and didn’t know what we were going to do. We ended up taking the free shuttle to rainbow falls and followed up with their tour to one of the 2018 fissure sites, macadamia nut tour, and black sand beach. We have been to many different destinations and been on many tours and Dan provided some of the best service and information. They went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a great time and was comfortable. We definitely recommend them to anyone visiting Hilo.
